PROPELA

The project aims to support Tanzanian youth in moving from informal work into decent employment in the construction sector through a dual apprenticeship model jointly led by companies, training institutions, and the government. The project's goal is not only to train young people but to transform the national Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) system so that the promoted dual apprenticeship model becomes a standard, accredited pathway in Tanzania. The latter is envisioned to be achieved through (1) co‑creating the model with industry, (2) demonstrating the model's effectiveness for both learners and companies, and (3) supporting its embedding through national accreditation and public co-financing. The project's direct beneficiaries are unemployed young Tanzanians, but the long‑term gains will be shared widely across companies, communities, and the broader economy, including a more reliable pipeline of job-ready talent for employers.
